It may be small but it’s a top level hub of information flow. I see something some up on HN to be followed days later in the mainstream press.

- cbanek 8y agoWhile there are some things that come up here maybe a few hours or days before the mainstream press gets to it (usually posted from a smaller press outlet), I've never seen an HN thread quoted or referenced here in the mainstream media. If you've seen one, I'd love to see it. Also, just because sometimes there are some mainstream stories here (for example, a lot of WSJ, NYT, WaPo is posted here) doesn't mean that all stories posted here are mainstream. Most aren't.
